More than 150 Catholics, including bishops, priests and academics, have launched a statement in support of Pope Francis.
The Pro Pope Francis open letter, available in English and German, follows the “filial correction” of Pope Francis, which claimed that the Pope had helped to spread heresies.
The signatories, including eight bishops, address the Pope, saying: “Your pastoral initiatives and their theological justification are currently under vehement attacks by a group in the church. With this open letter, we want to express our gratitude for your courageous and theologically sound papal leadership.”
They congratulate the Pope on “reshaping the pastoral culture of the Roman Catholic Church”, adding: “We share your dream.”

A Texas priest says that Donald Trump has not been anointed by god to rain fire on North Korea, in spite of what a fellow clergyman may have said. Catholic Pastor Jushia J Whitfield pushed back on the word of a fellow Texas pastor’s word in an op-ed published in the Dallas Morning News, noting that early Christians lived under oppressive regimes. Politics were viewed, he noted, as belonging to the demonic.

Mauro Inzoli, 67, was initially defrocked in 2012 after he was first accused of abusing minors, but Francis reversed that decision in 2014, ordering the priest to stay away from children and retire to "a life of prayer and humble discretion." On June 28, the priest's diocese of Crema in northern Italy released a statement saying the pope had made a "definitive ruling" that Inzoli, also known as Don Mauro, should be dismissed from clerical duties.

A 48-year-old Catholic priest has been arrested in Kochi for raping a 17-year-old girl in 2016, who gave birth to a child a few weeks ago, ANI reported. Father Robin Vaddakumchiryil, vicar of St Sebastian church in Kottiyoor, has been sent to judicial custody for 14 days.
The priest allegedly got the baby admitted to a facility in Wayanad. Ironically, the accused was known for speaking publicly against child sex abuse. “The parents had not filed a complaint. But based on a tip-off received by the child helpline, we carried out an initial probe and found the report to be true. We have filed a case of rape against the priest,” a police officer told NDTV.

"It is a scandal to say one thing and do another. That is a double life," the 80-year-old pontiff told worshipers at Mass in his private residence.
"There are those who say 'I am very Catholic, I always go to Mass, I belong to this and that association.'
“‘My life is not Christian. I don't pay my employees proper salaries. I exploit people. I do dirty business. I launder money. [I lead] a double life.'
"There are many Catholics who are like this and they cause scandal," he continued. "How many times have we all heard people say 'if that person is a Catholic, it is better to be an atheist.'"
